Lucy Dacus officiated the marriages of multiple couples at her latest show in Philadelphia – watch below.
The singer-songwriter played the opening night of her ‘Forever Is A Feeling’ tour – named after her fourth studio album from this March – on Friday (July 25) at the city’s FDR Park.
As she revealed earlier this week, she intends to use the shows as an opportunity to double up as official wedding ceremonies, revealing that she is ordained in the US.
She wrote: “I can think of all sorts of reasons people may be interested in securing the rights granted through marriage (you know what I mean?), so if you’ve had it in mind forever or are just recently making the decision, I will be honored to do the honors!”
During ‘Best Guess’ in Philadelphia, she invited the first group of couples onto the stage and as the band played on, she read their names off a piece of paper and handed them a ceremonial rose. Watch the video here:

In a four-star review of ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, NME wrote: “Though it exudes plenty of joy along the way, ‘Forever Is A Feeling’ doesn’t shy away from the more daunting aspects of being totally obsessed with somebody; “This is bliss, this is hell,” Dacus sings on the title track. “Forever is a feeling, and I know it well.” Though longing and mortality have long been recurring themes in Dacus’ music, the stakes feel even higher – and even more gripping – when there’s so much to lose.”
It was later named as one of NME’s best albums of 2025 so far.
Elsewhere, at a recent show in Dublin, Dacus covered Fontaines D.C.’s ‘Roy’s Tune’ – watch footage here.
Dacus’ erstwhile Boygenius bandmate Phoebe Bridgers, meanwhile, was just handed another legal victory in her long-running defamation case, with her accuser ordered to pay her nearly $900,000 in damages.
